Lyrics

Martyr

Keith played Jesus in the play

Method acted all the way

Pretty soon he felt our pain...

For our gain

Keith played Jesus in the play

Method acted all the way

Pretty soon he felt our pain...

For our gain

Watched my dog get hit today

Found my dog one year today

She won't ever know my pain...

I'll try again

Watched my dog get hit today

Found my dog one year today

She won't ever know my pain...

I'll try again

Son

Son

Gone

Keith played Jesus in the play

Method acted all the way

Pretty soon he felt our pain...

For our gain

Mary fell in love with Jane

Jane made Mary play her games

Now Mary cries and beats her face...

All in vain!
